Pea and Ham Soup...

I have had a great week full of lb losing deliciousness, 5lbs to be exact!! :) So with this great loss I am feeling good and ready to work hard to get to my target by summer.  But saying that 'working hard' is not really what it sounds like and that is the beauty of Slimming World. You don't feel like you are on diet as you can eat nearly everything and everything is just SO tasty! You do have to stay off the doughnuts though...sigh :\ Its a hard life when you want to be skinny lol
